The occurrence of 5-Chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylbenzimidazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 5-Chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylbenzimidazole (CAS 84100-59-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11ClN2, MW 242.70 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
5-Chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylbenzimidazole (C14H11ClN2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Chloro-2-methyl-1-phenylbenzimidazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
